The stench here is so bad that even without the miasma that creates the illusion, the rancid green juice here alone is enough to make you sick.
"I say Xiwu, let's explore further. It's really stinky here." Yu came up to Xiwu and talked to her in a flattering manner. Xiwu ignored him and was still minding his own business. Go inside.
"Miss, if you are tired, can I bring the car over and pick you up? The smell here is so strong!" Yu used an extremely exaggerated tone on her hands and knees, making Xiwu burst into laughter.
Then we
We retraced our steps and walked back to the yurt where we rested the night before.
I saw that behind the yurt, there were obvious landslides in several places on the mountain. The soil on the surface of the mountain had been washed away, exposing the core of hard rock formations inside.
"There should have been an earthquake here today," Lei said.
The mountain opened a huge hole, reminding people that it is also hard on the inside.
"Where have the villagers nearby been evacuated to?" I asked.
Feng and Lei didn't answer.
"The population here is sparsely populated, and the buildings are low. Besides, it is not a core area. The impact should be very small. There is no need to worry..." Chen Xuejun said, "Mainly, I am afraid that many coastal cities have been submerged now... "
I thought of the injured villagers. They had probably never left this mountainous area in their lives. They had been working diligently to herd horses and sheep, but they still could not escape the influence of this man-made disaster... When the disaster struck, they were It was left to its own devices, and those who caused the disaster had already built high walls and shelters and hid in them.
In the yurt, the few villagers had left long ago and were missing, including the wandering old Taoist priest. I secretly prayed that they would have a chance of survival, and maybe they could find a new place in this sparsely populated place. Pure land.
We found the two modified off-road vehicles that we drove when we came. The vehicles were camouflaged and parked in the river valley when we left. But who would have thought that both vehicles have now been submerged in the mud.
"Is it over now? We don't have to walk back, do we?"
Chen Xuejun was shocked.
"These cars have been modified to have extremely strong structures. The exhaust pipes have been placed at the top of the body. They can easily wade through water. As long as they can be dug out, they should still be able to drive."
"How do you plan this?"
Large pieces of mud and falling rocks buried the car body. If a small piece of the car's roof hadn't been exposed, I really doubt whether we had parked the car here.
Zhao Kai had already reached out to pick up the fallen rocks around him and pulled out a shovel from his calf.
"You are so foresighted. How did you expect that we would have to dig up the soil?" Chen Xuejun asked.
"Others are used to using daggers when getting close, but I like the engineer shovel. It has many uses and its attack power is not weak in fighting. Moreover, it can also cook."
Zhao Kai assembled the engineer shovel and made a shaking motion with the shovel in his hand.
There is just so much soil, how long does it take to dig it all? Just rely on this little engineer shovel? The soil dug up is buried by the soil above, which is like a foolish old man moving a mountain.
We have to face the reality that we can't drive these two cars unless an excavator can possibly save them.
"Let's go, save some energy, we can walk more today."
"Are you kidding?! Hundreds of kilometers? Walking back? I'd rather dig dirt here." Chen Xuejun was the first to object.
"Wait." Wen Na raised her hand to tell us to stop arguing.
It's a horse's neighing!
Could it be...the horses contaminated by nuclear radiation that we saw on the shoal next to the yurt before?
Wen Na put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly, and all four horses ran over obediently.
The injuries on the horses were shocking, but they still kept running with all their hooves.
The horse with a broken tail was the thinnest. There were many horseflies clinging to the broken tail and many flying insects swirling around it.
Wen Na walked straight over, drove away those pesky flies with her hands, and then gently stroked the horse's head.
"You can ride them back at dawn."
Everyone decided to rest in this yurt tonight and wait until dawn before continuing towards the outpost.
After Chen Xuejun entered the yurt, he found a seat and just lay down and fell asleep. Obviously he didn't want to participate in the night watch, and no one was too lazy to argue with him. They were even more worried about him being on duty!
After what happened before, I had a grudge against the people around me and would not do stupid things like that. I also found a place to sit down and waited for the wind to assign duties tonight.
"Last night, Xi Yuan was basically on duty. You can rest tonight."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Then I lay down on one side, and Wen Na also lay down on the other side of me, ignoring their distribution issues.
I slowly adjusted my breathing to the speed of sleep, closed my eyes, and my spirit body left my body and condensed in the valley where the car was parked. And Wen Na has been waiting for me here for a long time.
On the way back today, Wen Na was walking next to me. I had countless doubts in my heart and wanted to find answers to Wen Na, but because of the people around me and the monitoring and surveillance equipment on the protective clothing, I kept silent.
And just when I was distressed, Wen Na's voice came from my mind.
The voice didn't seem to be speaking to me from beside me, but in my mind, as if I had imagined it myself!
"Siyuan, I'm Wen Na."
At that time, I looked at Wen Na in panic, and she nodded slightly. The voice in my head continued to emanate——
"Xi Yuan, just walk normally. People in Yuan can communicate without words and only with consciousness, but don't let people around you find out!"
I pursed my lips, suppressed my emotions, and continued to move forward calmly, while Wen Na also continued to use her consciousness to speak to me.
I just had a doubt in my mind and wanted to ask Wen Na, but Wen Na has already given me the answer.
"No need to speak, I understand that whatever you think will be transmitted to me, and the people in the shelter can't monitor it. You don't need to be on duty tonight, just lie down and go to sleep in the farthest place where your spiritual body can gather. wait for me."
"Wen Na, are you okay?"
Even though I was full of doubts and questions, what I wanted to know most after seeing Wen Na was just, how is she now?
"When I saw you this time, you looked very unhappy."
"I...I...I'm okay..." She was also a little excited...
"You really scared me the last time you were little like that."
"I don't have much time, Xiyuan, you must grow up quickly..."
"Time is running out? What's wrong with you? And the man in sunglasses said, what's going on..."
"My body has been severely damaged, and now I am just hanging on. What you see now is entirely my spirit body."
"I don't believe it! There must be a way, right?"
"Maybe...but being able to see you is already the most satisfying and happiest thing for me. I also want to spend more time with you and spend more time with you."
"You have made rapid progress, but your original power has still not been awakened. You need to find the missing pieces."
"Can I save you if I find the fragments you mentioned?"
Wen Na smiled, "After you find it, your power is awakened. You are a true Yuanren, and you can do those things that were originally impossible."
"Remember, the whole world is in chaos now, you must remember my words, don't sympathize, don't pity, don't believe, before you are fully awakened, your emotions will only tie you down, or even destroy you! "
Wen Na touched my eyebrows with her hand, and the picture in her mind was right before my eyes! I saw myself being burned in the fire, and I saw a little girl smiling at me and then stabbing a dagger into my chest.
My body shook suddenly and I looked at Wen Na in disbelief. She had a sad look on her face.
"That's what I'm worried about." Wen Na looked sad.
"Can you see the future?!"
